2 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
3
4 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
5 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
6 by 0.2 slices)
7
8 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
9 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
10
11 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
12 also done with a intercalibration input file
13
14 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
15
16 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
17
18 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
19
20 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
21
22 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
23
24 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
25
26 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
27 which is more than 5 times the variance
28
29 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
30
31 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
32 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
33
34 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
35 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
36
37 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
38 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
39
40 - update the reference lines for the december data
41
42 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
43 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
44 pulse position changes much.
45
46 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
47 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
48 signals lower than 90 phes.
49
50 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
51 Jan and Dec.
52
53 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
54 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
55
56 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
57 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
58 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
59 than with old versions (wrong units))
60
61 - As a workaround made the pretty palette the default. The inverse
62 Depp Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration runs a lot.
63
64 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
65 for automatic processing
66
67
68

111
112 - added possibility to read a TTree stored only in memory by MReadTree

115 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
116
117 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
118
119 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
120 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
121 the slices by statistics
122 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
123 signal extractor without randomization
124 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
125 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
126 randomly fixed)
127 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
128 long as nobody really needs it:
129 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
130 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
131
132 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
133
134 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
135 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
136 roughly 0.5%
137
138 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
139 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
140 batch mode possible:
141 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
142

144 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
145
146 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
147 camera files.
148
149 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
150
151 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
152 accurate now
153
154 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
155 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
156 * the new implementation is faster and
157 * needs less storage space
158
159 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
160 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)

411 - Added a tutorial macro demonstrating how report files are merpped
412 and how they can be read from the root file in the correct order
413 of time (readrep.C)
414
415 - Added a generalized histogram (similar to MH3) called MVsTime
416 which allows to plot variables (or rules - MDataChain - of

519 - added a new status display which can show the present status
520 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
521 an example can be found at status.C)
522
523 - reorganized directories:
524 classes describing the image --> mimage

559 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
560 have any neighbour)
561
562 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from

597
598 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillas according to TDAS 02-03
599
600 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
601
602 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
603
604 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
605
606 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
607 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
608 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
609
610 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
611
612 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
613 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
614
615 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
616 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
617 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
618 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
619 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
620
621 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
622 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
623
624 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
625 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
626
627 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
628 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
629
630 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
631
632 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
633

638 (thanks to Raquel)
639
640 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
641 estfit.C) using a parametrization
642
643 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
644 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
645 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
646
647
648
649 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
650
651 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
652 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
653 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
654 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
655
656 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
657 for the collection area calculation
658
659 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
660 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
661
662 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
663 of one container
664
665 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
666 ascii file
667
668 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
669 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
670 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
671 hillas parameters)
672
673 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
674 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
675 see MHillas and MHillasExt
676
677 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
678 see MHillasSrc
679
680 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
681 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
682 all histograms)
683
684 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
685
686 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
687
688 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
689
690 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
691 an output stream instead of the whole container only
692
693 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
694 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
695
696 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
697 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
698
699 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
700 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
701
702 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
703
704 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
705 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
706 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
707
708 - Added:
709 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
710 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
711 they are needed in the flux calculation in
712 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
713 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
714 of Theta and the true energy
715
716 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
717 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
718 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
719 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
720 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
721 by unfolding
722
723 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
724
725

752 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
753
754 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
755
756 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
757 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
758 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
759
760 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
761 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
762 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.

784
785 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
786 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
787
788 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
789 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
790 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
791
792 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
793 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
794
795 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
796 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
